IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING-STOVES.

Specilication forming part of Letters Patent No. 51,292, dated December5, 1865.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ESEK BUSSEY, of the city of Troy, in the county ofRensselaer and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Cooking Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,in which- Figure l is a central vertical section from front to rear,Fig. 2 a section at the line e .e in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a perspective viewof the boiler, and Fig. 4c, a top view of the rear part with the boilerremoved, all of a cooking-stove embodying my invention, like partsheilig marked by the samelettersin all the figures, and the course ofthegases of combustion indicated by the arrows therein.

Myinvention consists in the arrangement, in a cooking-stove, ofaculinary boilerand an exitpassage for the gases of combustion, both inone end of the stove, and so that the boiler itself forms a part ofthelateral easin g of a fireiue or iire-ilues in the same end of the stove,below the said exit-passage, with one upright side of the boiler indirect contact with the flame or hot gases of combustion in the saidfire-flue or rire-fines, and the opposite side of the boiler exposed tothe air outside of the stove, or not in contact with the flame or gasesof combustion in the stove.

In the accompanying drawings, A is the boiler, B the exit-passage forthe gases of combustion, and G the lateral casing to the fire-tine orfire-tlues D, below the said exit-passage.

With this invention the boiler and the exitpassage for the gases ofcombustion are together less in the way of a person using the stove inculinary operations, and the boiler absorbs and economizes more of theheat which is about to pass oftfrom the stove and be wasted through thesaid exit-passage than if the said exit-passage and boiler were arrangedapart from each other in different ends or sides ofthe stove; and withmy said invention the boiler is generally at a more convenient height topour into and to dip outof, and more directly and completely absorbs andutilizes the excess of heat in the end ofthe stove to which the boileris applied, than if the boiler did not extend below the exit-passage,but was entirely above the bottom of the latter, on top of the stove.And since the boiler in my said invention is arranged in, so as to forma part of, the lateral easing on the outer side of a re-iiue oriiretlues in the stove, below the said exit-passage for the gases ofcombustion, and so as to expose one lateral side of the boiler directlyto the tiame or hot gases of combustion in the said nre-fine orlire-nues, I thereby avoid the use and expense in the stove of a lateraleasing between the said lire-flue or nre-dues and the boiler, and alsocause the boiler to be far more rapidly and highly heated, andconsequently much more suitable for use in boiling meats and vegetablesfor food and in heating water quickly and boiling clothes in laundryoperations, than if the boiler was arranged at the same end of the stoveas and extended below the said exit-passage, with merely one lateralside of the boiler in contact with the outer surface of a lateral casingon the outer side of a tire-due or iire-tlues in the stove, below thesaid exit-passage, as in some cooking-stoves heretofore made, and asindicated in No. 37,966 of United States Letters Patent.

In carrying my aforesaid invention into operation, I extend the boilerto various widths and depths along the said tire-flue or fire-dues, asindicated by dotted lines at .r .r in Figs. l and 2, and I construct theend ofthe stove in which the boiler and exit-passage are arranged eitherwith two lateral descending or diving lire-fines and a central ascendingone7 as shown in full lines in the accompanying drawings, or with adescending tire-flue on one side and an ascending one on the other, asindicated by dotted partition -lines at y y in Fig.'2, or with one broadascendingre-tlue, or other suitable form or arrangement of nre-flue orlire-dues, whereby my aforesaid invention will secure the advantageshereinbcfore specified.

I secure the boiler in the stove by any suit-- able means-as, forexample, in the annexed drawings, the top plate, E, ofthe stove has aring-like projection, j', in which the boiler is held by a iiange, g, onthe rim of the boiler, while the side of the boiler, which forms a partof the casing to the Jfire-lines, is close against the liuc-strips hIt', and the bottom ofthe boiler rests at 17, Fig. l, on the edge of theupright plate under it.

J J are hinged lids or covers on top of the boiler.

I commonly construct the stove of cast-iron plates, fastened together inthe usual manner of combustion, both at one end of the stove, and l andI generally prefer to make the boiler in one so that the boiler forms apart of the lateral piece of cast-iron, and to sometimes have theeasing; on Jthe outer side of a re-iue or fireinterior surface of theboiler coated with tin, ilues in the end of the stove, below the saidWhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-
